Deal Alert: Microsoft Windows 7 Premium $29.99

Microsoft is at it again.
Last time, it discounted Microsoft Office ULTIMATE down to $59.
Now, it is targeting a huge pool of prospective customers and slashing the price of their flagship product for 2009-10. It is selling complete legal versions of Windows 7, for a mere $29.99.
And it’s not the basic edition. It’s for the Home Premium version of Windows 7!

If you are a student or teacher associated with a university (basically if you have a .edu address) then you pass the first step of qualification for this promotion.

It’s one upgrade that I’m actually jumping on after my less-than-happy experiences with Windows Vista Business to date.
